This episode is all about two of the most famous groups of cannibals that lived in Scotland. Well as far as we can tell anyway!
These tales now things of myth and folklore, that we tell our children to scare them into behaving....Yeah some of us do that. 
 
Christie Cleek is a mythical Scottish cannibal who lived during a famine in the mid-fourteenth century. The legend of Sawney Bean first appeared in the British chapbooks(rumour magazines of the day). His family was an ever growing ever hungry, cannibal group of about 45-48 people strong!

Court Round up #6

Hey Guys 
As I am working hard to get out to you a new international series (and I want to do it justice!) I have spent a bit more time focusing on researching this time round. So I have for you another court round up along with a little bit of chit chat.
 
This one blew my mind that I had no idea this had happened. 100% this guy was something not right. Less murder more creeper.
